Spanish term

corte especial de la hebra

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing tobacco
This text is about cut rag as the product offered by a company. Among In this context "hebra" in Spanish means "cut rag". I'm thinking of translating "corte de la hebra" simply as "cut" but I'd like to have your opinion. Second, I'm not sure about what the qualifier "especial" refers to; perhaps it means "corte especialmente seleccionado".
Of course, I've been doing some research on tobacco documents but I can't find otther possible equivalents.

Pipe tobacco:

Tabacos de calidades elaborados de diferentes gustos, con corte especial de la hebra.

Thanks!

It literally means "cut in a different way", but that sounds a bit vague. Pipe tobacco is less finely cut than cigarette tobacco, and you might be justified in using that as the translation.
